Feline conjunctivitis symptoms. Conjunctivitis refers to inflammation of the eyelid conjunctiva and eyeball conjunctiva. It is one of the common eye diseases in cats.

The disease is mostly caused by foreign bodies, trauma, stimulation by light, heat, chemicals, infection by bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms or parasites, and is secondary to other diseases (such as keratitis, dacryocystitis, etc.).

Sick cats suffer from photophobia, tearing, conjunctival flushing and congestion, and serous or serous secretions in the inner corners of the eyes. When the inflammation is severe, it becomes purulent, and the affected eyes are swollen and painful.

During treatment, first wash your eyes with 2% to 3% boric acid solution or normal saline to remove foreign matter in the conjunctival sac and clear eye secretions. Then use chloramphenicol eye drops or cortisone acetate eye ointment, 2-3 times a day. You can also mix 2 ml of 0.5% procaine hydrochloride solution and 400,000 units of penicillin for subconjunctival injection.
